Insights Unveiled: Amazon’s Top Alexa Inquiries of 2023 Revealed

In the realm of frequently asked questions directed at Alexa this year, inquiries about the duration of the Oppenheimer movie, the count of birthdays attributed to the King, and Elon Musk’s net worth emerged as top-ranking topics.

Amazon has revealed the questions its smart speaker was asked most often in 2023.

People wanted to know how tall Lionel Messi is, how old Sir Elton John is and who Jennifer Lopez is married to.

Questions about the coronation were among the most popular. “When is the King’s coronation?” and “how old is King Charles?” were some of the top queries.

The coronation has been a common theme for online searches across platforms this year, with Google revealing on Monday that “when is the coronation?” was its most searched for ‘when’ question of the year.

Ed Sheeran was named as the most-played artist ahead of Taylor Swift, Lewis Capaldi and Elvis Presley, while Flowers by Miley Cyrus was the most-played song of the year.

People were also curious about Ed Sheeran’s bank account – queries about his net worth were only surpassed by questions about Elon Musk’s.

Yorkshire puddings were the most requested recipe, followed by pancakes (last year’s top recipe) and banana bread. Perhaps a surprise entry for the eighth most asked-for recipe: hot-smoked salmon, lentil and pomegranate salad.

When it comes to sports questions, the one asked most often was simply “Alexa, what’s the score?”.

Queries about football dominated, yet sports enthusiasts equally sought updates on cricket, Grand Prix, and Wimbledon events.

Interestingly, “Sing Happy Birthday” claimed the title of the most frequently requested “personality song,” surpassing requests for Alexa to beatbox or perform a melody about dogs.
